Full arch dental implants

Before committing to anything you can take advantage of our full, free consultation service.

Our team will explain how the treatment works and walk you through the entire process. They’ll carry out a full mouth assessment and explain all the options open to you.

They will also show you the range of teeth options available to you – both shape and colour – to help you decide the look that best suits you.

We’ll then arrange for you to meet our implant surgeon, Dr Stuart Lutton, who’ll discuss all the dental procedures with you.

Stuart will carry out a CT bone density scan, which measures the density, width and depth of your jaw bone. This information enables Stuart to judge if your jaw is suitable for a full arch dental implant.

He will then recap all the options open to you and answer any questions you have about the clinical treatment.

At this point you’ll be given an itemised treatment plan to take away with you. You’ll also have ongoing access to us to ask any follow-up questions to help you make your final decision.

The next step is to meet with our implant co-ordinator to go over all the pre-operation checks and information.

We’ll walk you through the whole procedure and explain in detail what medication you’ll take both pre and post-op.

You’ll also be given a further X-ray review to check all is in order before signing our consent to treatment form.

We will also create a 3D digitalisation of your face using the ground-breaking Face Hunter scanner. This delivers an almost photo-realistic preview of the final result and gives you a clear idea of how the final result will look.

On the day of your procedure Stuart will first extract any teeth that need to be removed.

The 4 – 6 dental implants will then be placed into your jawbone following the personalised digital plan for your treatment. Anaesthetic and sedation solutions are available to ensure the treatment remains relatively painless.

You will then rest in our supervised treatment lounge - complete with Wi-Fi and television - while our Master Technician creates your customised prototype bridge.

A few hours later Stuart will fit your bridge to the implants and the day’s treatment will be complete. You will be able to resume normal activities within a day or so.

We’ll call you in the days following the procedure to make sure everything is OK and to answer any questions you may have at this stage.

Between 10 and 14 days after the prototype bridge is fitted you’ll come back for a review with Stuart. He’ll remove your bridge and take your stitches out (don’t worry it’s not painful) before replacing the bridge and making sure it’s fitting well. This appointment will only take 30 minutes.

After the 3 to 4 months needed to allow your implants to settle, the process to fit your teeth takes place over a few short appointments.

Our Master Technician will meet with you to take new impressions of your mouth to ensure your new bridge is built to reflect your unique measurements. We’ll then use the latest technology to check that your customised bridge will be a perfect fit, including speech, bite and aesthetic checks, before our master technician creates your final teeth for Stuart to fit and check.

You’ll then come back for a review to make sure everything is as it should be. We’ll also discuss your ongoing hygiene programme, which will be managed by us or by your own dentist, depending on which route you prefer.  We’ll also send your dentist a full report on your treatment.
